EU, Cuba in diplomatic row

A dispute is brewing between Cuba and the European Union over a visit by EU diplomats to the wife of a jailed opposition activist, Darsi Ferrer.



The diplomats, from five EU embassies in Cuba, brought with them donated food and clothing, when they visited Dr Ferrer\'s wife yesterday.



Cuba responded by summoning the ambassadors from the five EU countries.



According to a EU diplomat, Cuba has accused his colleagues of meddling in its internal affairs and threatening the recently renewed EU-Cuban dialogue.



Meanwhile, Swedish diplomat, Ingemar Cederberg, says the issue raises questions as to whether Dr. Ferrer’s prosecution on criminal charges, was in fact politically motivated.
